Cardinal Dolan, on Today show, discusses Catholic teaching on homosexuality
CWN - August 01, 2013
Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, who appeared on CBS This Morning to discuss Pope Francis's recent comments on gay priests, has also been interviewed on NBC's Today show. "What the Pope is saying is, don't forget there's another element to God's teaching, namely that we treat everybody with dignity and respect, that we don't judge their heart, that we love and respect them," said Cardinal Dolan."This is no way could this be interpreted as a change in Church doctrine or the Church's faith and morals," he continued. "It is a change in tone."
"Homosexual people deserve love respect and dignity, while homosexual acts are immoral," Cardinal Dolan added. "The Church's teaching, which is based on the Bible and God's revelation, is that sexual love is reserved only between a man and woman in the lifelong, life-giving relationship of marriage, and any relations outside of that, hetero or homo, would be less than God's intention."
